That Bedford fumble. Little moments matter so much in games like this.

That was the turning point.

Second on the ladder now too.

    Such a predictable garbage ball movement from the half back. Kick long to a pack. Nobody marks. Geelong runs away with it. It’s pathetic. 
    These old [censored] have made us look so second rate tonight

    How many down field frees has Kozzie given for the season

    How many pressure acts by Kozzie have seen kicks smothered or skewed this season?

    Top spot gone after that goal. With Blues, Freo, Lions and Pies to come, it’s going to be tough to finish top two.


    4 goals down, 4 ½ minutes to play - yes, possibly, but extremely unlikely.   Has Clarry been subbed?

    Answer my own question - no

    20 points.   Maybe.  Bridge too far at this time in the 4th

    Gawn came back way too early. Hurt us tonight. 
    Been uncompetitive. 

    Never seemed like a good idea 

    Why do Melb insist on gathering the ball off the ground when under severe pressure when a knock on or quick slap forward might allow your players to run onto it and clear congestion.

    This is most likely our worst all round performance this season IMV given the ins.

    Feels like the bulldogs game last year at a similar time. Looked heavy, fumbly, got close but ran out of legs.

    Lost the contest all night , that’s been the main difference.

    Fumbles and poor forward entries just the icing on the very bitter cake really.

    We are not as good as last year. It’s going to be almost impossible to win.

    And Kosi’s miss

    Awful technique.  Tried to guide it through instead of running in a straight angle and letting the curl of the ball off the boot do the work

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
